Come and listen to the excellent Tcha Gypsy Jazz Quartet!
Saturday 14th September. 12.30pm - 2.30pm
Tcha (“An Expression Of Joy” in Romani) evolved in early 2019 as a collaboration between four experienced musicians following a series of informal sessions. Gez, Steve, Ian and Manny came from a variety of musical backgrounds but with a shared passion for the music of Django Reinhardt and the gypsy jazz legacy.
